SEAFiT Crew Survey Report 2023

Crew Survey Report | 2023 14 seafit.safety4sea.com Index Analysis Result analysis reveals that the area that seafarers are most satisfied is the Wellness Index. The satisfaction level is up to 80.5% showing that seafarers have a positive approach of their life in respect of work conditions on board ships. However, seafarers seem to be concerned about their wellbeing, according to the relevant index 65.5%. Their main concerns refer to sleep quality, food and recreation on board. Happiness Index is an indicative area for the feeling of seafarers on board. The ranking of its associated ques- tions is as below: Rank Happiness Index by order of importance (TSL=74.2 %) SL% 1 I am happy with my current relationship with other crew onboard/ashore 78,2% 2 I am happy and feel valued in my current role onboard the ship 76,0% 3 I feel secure about my job role 75,6% 4 I am happy with the reputation of my employer/ship manager 74,9% 5 I prefer to eat a balanced diet while onboard 74,6% 6 I am happy with my current relationship with the Ship/Shore Management 74,5% 7 I would happily suggest my current employer to other colleagues 74,1% 8 I am satisfied with my current opportunities of professional growth 74,0% 9 I am satisfied with my current training opportunities onboard/ashore 73,7% 10 I am happy with my current work/ life balance 73,6% 11 I am satisfied with my current salary level and benefits package 63,2% 12 I feel demotivated and tired due to excessive workload 51,7% The relationship with other crew members has the first position, which is an important thing to have in mind, meaning that seafarers feel satisfied with the interaction with other crew. However, the salary and work load have the lowest satisfaction levels, which again is something expected, hav- ing in mind the commercial (or other Company related) precure onboard and the correlation with the existing sal- aries. In recent days metal health is a new entry in shipping industry. Seafarers included remarks for mental health barriers and the survey showed that steps should be taken in order to drive forward the existing satisfaction level. For example, many seafarers feel that they are not covered to mental health issues by existing systems. The worst factor in mental health barriers was the information provided on mental health issues and mental health ser- vices on board. SURVEY ANALYS I S
